Pregnancy, hair styling

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

You can get your hair styled and colored before pregnancy, but it's important to choose the right time. The best time for hair styling is three to six months before pregnancy. If you get your hair colored or styled during pregnancy, some hair dyes can irritate the skin upon contact, causing headaches, facial swelling, and eye damage, making it difficult to open your eyes. In severe cases, it can even lead to miscarriage. Hair dyes can also have teratogenic effects on the fetus and may even cause cancer in pregnant women, such as skin cancer and breast cancer.
During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, a pregnant woman's hair quality may become very fragile and prone to falling out. Hair styling and coloring can exacerbate this condition. Therefore, for the health of both you and your baby, it's best to avoid it. Finally, it's recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups.
